A no-tolerance policy for cell phones at a theater and no seat saving for a groups who aren't even at the theater yet. I just think people just are turned off by the rudeness of others. I know it is a problem in society as a whole as well, but people go to the movies to escape the world for a little bit and you really can't do that with cell phones ringing.
Launching off of the discussion from Monday's podcast about movie theaters, I thought I'd start this thread. Please post and say what it is that brings you to the theater. What would make you go to more movies in theaters? What do you hate about the theater experience, and why do you not do it more often? You can also share about cool theaters that have a sort of different model that you've been to, like the one Molly talked about that has couches and serves beer and pizza.
I'll start: I go to the movies for two reasons -- I really want to see a certain movie and can't wait till it comes out on DVD, and/or my kids really want to see it. My 8 year old is a movie freak. IMDB is literally his favorite website, he's on there all the time. He can tell you the release date for most movies, as well as when they come out on DVD, which movies the actors in a certain film also starred in, etc. Since this is sort of his obsession, my husband and I have been trading off going to movies with him that we probably wouldn't otherwise pay to see -- if just one of us goes with just him, the cost isn't that high, and we find his brother often doesn't care if he misses out -- we take him out to lunch every now and then instead -- he's a bottomless pit teenager, he'd rather eat than watch a movie most times.
What I hate about movies is mostly the prices. And the captive audience high prices at the concessions. I will bring in snacks hidden in my purse -- some theaters actually search your bags. I won't go to theaters that do that, I think it's insulting.
There is a low-priced theater near us that gets a lot of our business. Kids are $4.50 at all times. Matinees (all shows before 5 p.m.) are $5.50 for adults. I go there instead of the mall. It's not as big, but it also doesn't kill your bank account as much.
I'd love to hear what other people think.
